How to play Battleship

Play Battleship free online against the computer. Place your fleet, hunt the enemy grid, and sink every ship before your own fleet goes down.

Place your fleet by drag, or tap and rotate, or use auto place. Then click a cell on the enemy grid to fire.

Replay value

Why players come back to Battleship

The AI hunts on a parity search and switches to targeting after a hit, so sloppy fleet placement is punished the same way every time.

Quick strategy

Battleship strategy

Do not place ships against the edges or touching each other, and search on a diagonal until you connect. After a hit, finish the axis before moving on.
